 LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Revelation 15:1-4

A reading from the book of Revelation

I, John, saw in heaven another sign, great and awe-

inspiring: seven angels with the seven last plagues, for
through them God’s fury is accomplished.

Then I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire.

On the sea of glass were standing those who had won the
victory over the beast and its image and the number that
signified its name. There were holding God’s harps, and
they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the
song of the Lamb:

“Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God almighty.

Just and true are your ways, O king of the nations. Who
will not fear you, Lord, or glorify your name? For you
alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship
before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.

To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Word of the Lord.

People:

Thanks be to God.

5
 RESPONSORIAL PSALM 97, 1. 2-3ab. 7-8. 9 (R: Rev. 15,3b)

R. Great and wonderful are all your works,

Lord, mighty God!

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done wondrous

deeds; His right hand has won victory for him, his holy
arm. R.

The Lord has made his salvation known:

in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel. R.

Let the sea and what fills it resound, the world and those
who dwell in it; Let the rivers clap their hands, the
mountains shout with them for joy. R.

Before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes to rule the earth;
He will rule the world with justice and
the peoples with equity. R.

ALLELUIA

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Remain faithful until death,
and I will give you the crown of life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

6
GOSPEL Luke 21, 12-19

V. The Lord be with you

R. And with your spirit.

V.  A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke

R. Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus said to the crowd:

“They will seize and persecute you; they will hand you
over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have
you led before kings and governors because of my name.
It will lead you to your giving testimony. Remember, you
are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself
shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your
adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.

You will even be handed over by parents, brothers,

relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to
death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but
not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your
perseverance you will secure your lives.”
To indicate the end of the reading, the reader acclaims:

The Gospel of the Lord.

People:

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

 LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

PREPARATION OF THE ALTAR AND THE GIFTS

During the preparation of the gifts, the Offertory song is sung and the altar table is
prepared. The Presider takes the paten with the bread and, holding it slightly raised above
the altar says:

B lessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.

Through your goodness
we have this bread to offer,
which earth has given
and human hands have made.
It will become for us the bread of life.
People:
Blessed be God forever.

The deacon pours wine and a little water into the chalice saying inaudibly:
By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity of Christ,
who humbled himself to share in our humanity.
Then the Presider takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar says:

B lessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.

Through your goodness
We have this wine to offer,
fruit of the vine and work of human hands.
It will become our spiritual drink.

People:

Blessed be God forever.

10
The presider bows and says inaudibly:

Lord God, we ask you to receive us

and be pleased with the sacrifice we offer you
with humble and contrite hearts.

He may now incense the offerings and the altar. Afterwards the deacon or a minister
incenses the Presider and people.

Next the Presider stands at the side of the altar and washes his hands saying inaudibly:

Lord, wash away my iniquity;

cleanse me from my sin.
Standing at the center of the altar, facing the people, he extends and then joins his hands,
saying:

Pray, brethren, that our sacrifice may be acceptable to

God, the Almighty Father.

People:

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands

for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his Church.

11
 PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS
Presider:

R eceive, O Lord, we ask, the prayers of your people

with the sacrificial offerings,
that, through the intercession of Blessed Mary,
the Mother of your Son,
no petition may go unanswered,
no request be made in vain.
Through Christ our Lord.

R: Amen.

 EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
PREFACE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Mary, Mother of Divine Hope

V: The Lord be with you.

R: And with your spirit.
V: Lift up your hearts.
R: We lift them up to the Lord.
V: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R: It is right and just.

I t is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,

to give you thanks with all our hearts, Lord, holy Father,
for your gift to our human family
of Jesus Christ, the author of our salvation,
and of Mary, his Mother, the model of divine hope.
Your lowly handmaid
placed all her trust in you:
she awaited in hope
and conceived in faith the Son of Man,
whom the prophets had foretold.
With untiring love
she gave herself to his service
and became the Mother of all the living.
Mary, the fairest fruit of Christ’s redeeming love,
is a sister to all the children of Adam
as they journey toward the fullness of freedom
and raise their eyes to her,
the sign of sure hope and comfort,
until the day of the Lord dawns in glory.

In our joy we sing

with all the choirs of Angels:

13
 SANCTUS

The Priest, with hands extended, says:

Y ou are indeed Holy, O Lord,

the fount of all holiness.
He joins his hands and, holding them extended over the offerings, says:

M ake holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,

by sending down your Spirit upon them like the
dewfall,

He joins his hands and makes the Sign of the Cross once over the bread and the chalice
together, saying:

so that they may become for us

the Body and  Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.

In the formulas that follow, the words of the Lord should be pronounced clearly and
distinctly, as the nature of these words requires.

A t the time he was betrayed

and entered willingly into his Passion,

He takes the bread and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,

and gave it to his disciples, saying:

He bows slightly.

14
 T AKE THIS, ALL OF YOU,
AND EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

He shows the consecrated host to the people, places it again on the paten, and genuflects in
adoration.
After this, he continues:

I n a similar way, when supper was ended,

He takes the chalice and, holding it slightly raised above the altar, continues:

he took the chalice

and, once more giving thanks,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:
He bows slightly.

T AKE THIS, ALL OF YOU,

AND DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW
AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU
AND FOR MANY
FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

He shows the chalice to the people, places it on the corporal, and genuflects in adoration.
Then he says:

The mystery of faith.

15
 And the people continue, acclaiming:

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,

and profess your Resurrection
until you come again.
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says:

T herefore, as we celebrate
the memorial of his Death and Resurrection,
we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life
and the Chalice of salvation,
giving thanks that you have held us worthy
to be in your presence and minister to you.

Humbly we pray
that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ,
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

Celebrant or One Concelebrant:

R emember, Lord, your Church,

spread throughout the world,
and bring her to the fullness of charity,
together with Francis our Pope
and Jose our Bishop,
and all the clergy.

16
 Celebrant or One Concelebrant:

R emember also our brothers and sisters

who have fallen asleep in the hope of the
resurrection,
and all who have died in your mercy:
welcome them into the light of your face.
Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with Blessed Joseph her spouse,
with the blessed Apostles,
and all the Saints who have pleased you
throughout the ages,
we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life,
and may praise and glorify you
He joins his hands.
through your Son, Jesus Christ.
He takes the chalice and the paten with the host and raising both, he says:

T HROUGH HIM,
AND WITH HIM, AND IN HIM,
O GOD, ALMIGHTY FATHER,
IN THE UNITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
ALL GLORY AND HONOR IS YOURS,
FOREVER AND EVER.

The people acclaim:

Amen.

17
 COMMUNION RITE
Presider:

A t the Savior’s command and formed by divine

teaching we dare to say:
He extends his hands and, together with the people, continues:

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed by thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sinned against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

With hands extended, the Priest alone continues, saying:

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil,
graciously grant peace in our days,
that, by the help of your mercy,
we may be always free from sin
and safe from all distress,
as we await the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
He joins his hands.

The people conclude the prayer, acclaiming:

For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

18
SIGN OF PEACE
Then the Priest, with hands extended, says aloud:

L ord Jesus Christ,

who said to your Apostles:
Peace I leave you, my peace I give you,
look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church,
and graciously grant her peace and unity
in accordance with your will.

He joins his hands.

Who live and reign forever and ever.

The people reply:

Amen.

The Priest, turned towards the people, extending and then joining his hands, adds:

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

The people reply:

And with your spirit.

Then, if appropriate, the Deacon, or the Priest, adds:

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.

19
 And all offer one another a sign, in keeping with local customs, that expresses peace,
communion, and charity. The Priest gives the sign of peace to a Deacon or minister.
Then he takes the host, breaks it over the paten, and places a small piece in the chalice,
saying quietly:

May this mingling of the Body and Blood

of our Lord Jesus Christ
bring eternal life to us who receive it.

BREAKING OF THE BREAD

Meanwhile the following is sung or said:

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.
The invocation may even be repeated several times if the fraction is prolonged. Only the
final time, however, is grant us peace said.

PRIVATE PREPARATION
Then the Priest, with hands joined, says quietly:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,

who, by the will of the Father
and the work of the Holy Spirit,
through your Death gave life to the world,
free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood,
from all my sins and from every evil;
keep me always faithful to your commandments,
and never let me be parted from you.

20
Or:
May the receiving of your Body and Blood,
Lord Jesus Christ,
not bring me to judgment and condemnation,
but through your loving mercy
be for me protection in mind and body
and a healing remedy.

COMMUNION
The Priest genuflects, takes the host and, holding it slightly raised above the paten or above
the chalice, while facing the people, says aloud:

B ehold the Lamb of God,

behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.
And together with the people he adds once:

Lord, I am not worthy

that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.

The Priest, facing the altar, says quietly:

May the Body of Christ keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Body of Christ.

Then he takes the chalice and says quietly:

May the Blood of Christ keep me safe for eternal life.

And he reverently consumes the Blood of Christ.

21
 After this, he takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the communicants. The Priest
raises a host slightly and shows it to each of the communicants, saying:

The Body of Christ.

The communicant replies:
Amen.
While the Priest is receiving the Body of Christ, the Communion Chant begins.
When the distribution of Communion is over, the Priest or a Deacon or an acolyte purifies
the paten over the chalice and also the chalice itself.
While he carries out the purification, the Priest says quietly:

What has passed our lips as food, O Lord,

may we possess in purity of heart,
that what has been given to us in time
may be our healing for eternity.

Then the Priest may return to the chair. If appropriate, a sacred silence may be observed
for a while, or a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may be sung.

Then, standing at the altar or at the chair and facing the people, with hands joined, the
Priest says:

COMMUNION ANTIPHON
Blessed are you who have believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord will be fulfilled.

or

Let us live justly and devoutly in this age,

as we await blessed hope
and the coming of the glory of our great God
and of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

22
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
